I've been hearing that it's good to shoot rifles with both eyes open instead of just one, but I've been having some problems. I'm right-handed, and I always test as right-eye dominant, but when I try to look through my AR's irons with both eyes open, my left eye almost invariably takes over...

I'm currently building an AR and thinking of going with a 20" upper, and I'm trying to keep it light, so I really want a pencil barrel. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like any of the top-tier manufacturers make one; BCM only offers government profile, and DD and Spike's don't even make anything...

I've been planning for a while now to build an AR, I recently decided to make it a 20" gun instead of a 16" mid-length. That may present a little problem, though: since rifle uppers aren't as popular these days as middy and M4-style ones, I can't find pre-built uppers with barrel options I...

I was thinking for a while about building an AR for my first centerfire rifle, but since I'm a college student and I'm not yet sure where I'm going to live once I graduate, I want something that'll fit a budget and that I won't have to neuter if I move to a state with stricter gun laws than...

I'm thinking about nabbing one of these from CDNN while they're $300. What do current owners think of them? Would they make a decent plinker and nightstand or truck gun? Additionally, would you recommend the 4.9" or 4.3" version on the basis of holster availability?

I stopped by a local pawn shop today and briefly checked out a couple of M1917's; one Winchester, one Remington, both for $260. I'm kind of new to centerfires and didn't get to check them out too much, so I don't know too much about them other than that they both have sporterized stocks and...

I'm thinking of building an AR for my first centerfire to act as a general utility rifle: mostly plinking duty, but capable of social work if necessary; I'd probably take a class or two with it. Part of why I got thinking about AR's in the first place is the price of the Del-Ton kits; the...

I was thinking for a while about getting an SKS or Saiga for my first centerfire rifle, but I've decided to just save up and make my first semiauto the rifle I really want: an STG-556. In the meantime, though, I'd like a an inexpensive and relatively low-recoil utility rifle that I can reload...

I'm currently thinking of getting one of Century's Tantals (like this one). I've heard that the keyholing problem has been fixed; is this a good route to go for a 5.45x39 AK, or should I just convert a Saiga?

I've had a hankering for a boltgun lately, so I'm thinking of trading in my 10/22 for a Stevens 300. All I know is that it's basically a Mk II without the Accu-Trigger; how are they? Should I look at a Marlin 925R instead?

I got my first gun, a 10/22, for Christmas when I was twelve (I'm now eighteen). It's one of the older models with the all-metal trigger guard, and it's blued with a factory Mossy Oak Break-Up treatment on the entire gun. I've sadly only put a few hundred rounds through it, and it seems a...

Looking to buy my first centerfire rifle for SHTF duty and occasional plinking, and maybe some hunting in the future. The Saiga seems like a great choice, but I'd rather not have to buy extra mags for it. Here's what else I'm considering so far: Marlin 336 SKS VZ 24 Mauser Of these, what...

I'm looking to buy an SKS pretty soon. Any information on what to look for in a Yugo or Chinese?

I'm in the market for a 5.45x39mm AK at the moment, and I've narrowed my selection down to three options, so I decided I'd ask for opinions: Tennessee Guns Bulgarian kit gun--Bulgy parts on a NoDak Spud receiver; seems decent for the price. 5.45 Saiga--Would probably be about the same price...

I'm currently in the market for a SHTF rifle, and I'm trying to keep it under $350 or so. I started by looking at the Yugo SKS, but while I could get an excellent-condition rifle for $200, the cost of 7.62x39 around here is significantly higher than that of .223, and since most of that stuff is...

I currently own a 10/22, and plan on buying a centerfire rifle and a handgun in the not-too-distant future to supplement it. I have the rifle figured out - a Yugo M59/66 SKS - but I still haven't made up my mind on what the handgun will be. Now, some will probably recommend a .22, but I'm...

I've been looking into getting one as my first centerfire handgun. Yes, I know that they have horrible triggers, but they're supposed to get better over time (or with new springs from Wolff), and I've fired a .40 that belongs to my uncle, and it seems like a nice gun. Opinions, as a handgun...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma at the moment. I'm sixteen years old, and saving up for my first centerfire. I'm particularly looking for something that would make a decent SHTF carbine, but at a low cost, especially for ammo. The first, and possibly most viable option, is the Saiga. I could get...

I'm looking to buy my first centerfire semiauto, and I want an AK. I want the lighter weight (and less obtrusiveness due to mag curvature - 20-round AK magazines were produced for a reason) of the .223, but the prices of that round are soaring. 5.45x39mm, though, is really cheap. So, does...

I'm looking to get my first centerfire soon - something that would be good for both hunting deer and as a possible bugout rifle, that's also relatively lightweight, is ideally under $500, and it'd be a plus if it came with (or can easily be fitted with) irons or a red dot sight - but I can't...
